This tester follows the free-falling dart method and is ideal for testing Plastic Films, Coated Materials, Sheeted Materials, Nylons, and Building Materials. Meet ASTM D1709 Method A and Method B depending on the setup.
When testing materials an important factor to consider is environmental influences on performance. Materials often need to be evaluated at temperatures other than ambient to better quantify and predict how they will perform through the production process and, ultimately, for end-use application.
Selecting a materials tester is a major project – it takes time and investigation to ensure that the instrument will not only meet your needs today but provide room to grow as your testing needs expand.

A pharmaceutical company in need of an accurate, flexible, and consistent method to measure the seal strength of foil sealed single-dose medicine cups. Their current method was to peel the foil seal by hand and rely on an operator to determine if the seal strength was adequate. A test routine to remove operator influence and provide objective analysis was required to determine the optimum sealing parameters for their dosing cups.
